on worries over global supply and soaring tensions in the Middle East. State oil giant Saudi Aramco said the attack on Saturday had cut output by 5.7 million barrels per day.Credit:Earlier in the day, a senior US official told reporters that evidence from the attack, which hit the world's biggest oil-processing facility,Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi dismissed the US allegation it was responsible as "pointless".
The US official, who asked not to be named, said on Sunday there were 19 points of impact in the attack on Saudi facilities and that evidence showed the launch area was west-northwest of the targets - not south from Yemen. "There's no doubt that Iran is responsible for this. No matter how you slice it, there's no escaping it. There's no other candidate," the official told reporters.Riyadh has accused Iran of being behind previous attacks on oil-pumping stations and the Shaybah oil field, charges that Tehran denies.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier that there was no evidence the attack came from Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been battling the Houthis for over four years in a conflict widely seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Shi'ite Muslim rival Iran.
Donald Trump’s 2nd electoral term won’t be as sweet as the 1st because he’s spent half the world’s financial budget already with Scott Morrison’s assistance giving him co-operation for the American wall which will create added revenge and retaliation from Mexicans and the world.
Oil war, round number?, (I've lost count.)
Has anyone bothered to ask him to provide the evidence that Iran undertook or facilitated the attacks?
Who knows with this liar? Are they? Probably? He consistently lives in his own world.
Trump and Netanyahu are as thick as thieves. Scoundrels in lock step. Be afraid these 2 are capable of doing something irrational, that could plunge the area into another war. Morrison get our people out of there. Don’t follow this maniac into war.
Who do you believe, Trump or Iran. I trust neither. Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility, as reported by Al Jazzerra. I’m more inclined to believe Al Jazzerra rather than Trump. At the urging of Netanyahu, Trump is priming up for war.
More like the US is to blame
Will Scott Morrison rush to America’s aid?
USA bombs kids on the way to school daily while Iran through a third party may have attacked an oil plant with no casualties. About time our media was independant free from threat of raids by the gestapo led by dutton.
And........... It also said further investigation into it
Show us the proof, who is this senior official ? Name him. 'Locked and loaded', like some war hero not a guy with heel spurs who dodged the draft. We don't want another bloody war.
Who benefits from higher oil prices the producers ! (Saudis,Iraq Russia, hell even the USA produces oil and has interest). Who suffers importers, & consumers . High oil prices benefit the oil producers and sovereign nations that sell oil the higher the better
Oh God he is just putrid. Warmonger Iran did nothing. No doubt America attacked them so they could justify war.
RobMax4 Trump looks orange. Is the LED light following him outside and everywhere? Other news Nostradamus predicted all this!
Oil prices have been so low US domestic oil production has become unprofitable, this increased tension should fix that ;)
The usual chaos.
Senior US official also said Saddam Hussein/Iraq had WMD! Trump prefers the easy option, in this case; reinvigorate his dwindling economy via a war! I also wonder how much $ he will make knowing oil $$$$ will react to this 'questionable' act of terrorism? USA: Trust factor zero
Iran?
This narcissistic imbecile is just itching to start a war, anywhere against anybody just to play with his toys.
TRUMP WAR IRAN CIA FALSEFLAG

Bigly distraction from IC whistleblower and calls for Kavanaugh’s impeachment.

Always looking after my best clients
Any excuse for another military adventure.
Made much more difficult when Obama and his western cronies signed the nuclear deal with Iran giving Iran access to nuclear capabilities.
Itching for a war, so the arms manufacturers get their rewards for backing GOP

And his children are busy buying Texas oil shares today
